Enhancing inspection accuracy with remote visual inspection

Problem: RVI cameras can be cropped, mishandled, or improperly inserted, leading to breakage. Software bugs, poor configuration, or weak network signals can also affect their performance.

Solution: Using AR to guide employees while using RVI  cameras can reduce the risk of accidental damage. Remote device management and patching also allow you to monitor software-related glitches.

Problem: Manual data entry can lead to missing or incomplete inspection or quality control reports, increasing the risk of regulatory non-compliance.

Solution: You can integrate your AR-guided digital checklists with automated inspection logging —for example, via your enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution. This way, your inspection records are always complete, properly logged, and verifiable. For many processes, additional verification is required; this can be achieved remotely via video calls.

Problem: Inspectors may misidentify defects or skip critical steps in inspection checklists.

Solution: AR-guided digital checklists can help ensure step-by-step process adherence. Machine vision technology can assist with image analysis, reducing the chances of defects being missed.

Problem: Specialist RVI equipment (e.g., borescopes and crawlers) can be expensive to purchase, maintain, and repair.

Solution: Consider adopting predictive maintenance to avoid unnecessary repairs and extend the lifespan of your equipment. TeamViewer offers 360° remote connectivity for all devices, device monitoring capabilities, and maintenance support.
